Hi everyone, 

I'm writing to ask for some help cataloging in Koha. I am having trouble 
getting it to save any records without Koha throwing up errors, and while I'm 
trying to follow the manual, I'm afraid the amount of information there is 
overwhelming. Especially as it's been so long since I used any marc 
bibliographic formats. 

So, I created a new framework based on the default one and named it Books, 
Booklets, Workbooks. I had tried importing records via Z39.50 and had no 
success in saving the record because of the errors (especially Tab 4 Series. 

I then tried and adding them manually, where I only filled in the relevant 
fields - I do not need e.g. the music incipit or a fingerprint identifier for a 
hardcopy textbook. It s not possible to delete tags I don't need within the BBW 
framework. 

The fields I have in our current system are the following; it's very minimal: 

Author – person
Author – corporate body
Title
Type of material
Media object URL
Language
Publish date
Publication and manufacture
Physical description
Other authors – person
Content
ISBN
Notes
Subject headings
Uncontrolled subject terms
UDC

For each material copy, I can add the status (for outside loan or reading room 
use, lost, withdrawn), location, call number, and inventory number. 

How do I customize my framework so I can add my textbooks quickly and easily? 
Are there any sections of the manual I should look into more closely? Thank you 
in advance! 

Best regards

Aida Đikić
